\r\nKyushu University is actively engaged in international cooperation for developing countries in cooperation with development assistance organizations such as the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).\r\n<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n

1. Strategic Cooperation Agreement<\/em><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nIn June 2005, Kyushu University signed a cooperation agreement with the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) in the field of overseas economic cooperation, and in November 2006, it signed a memorandum of understanding on partnership with the Kyushu International Center of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Based on these, in September 2010, JICA president (then Dr. Sadako Ogata) and the President of Kyushu University (then Dr. Setsuo Arikawa) signed a strategic cooperation agreement, which has been renewed twice since then.
\r\n
\r\nThe purpose of this agreement is not only for improving the quality of international cooperation projects, but also making international contributions, and contributing to academic research and education development in Kyushu University.
\r\n
\r\nThrough the framework based on this agreement, it is expected to contribute to solving global issues by utilizing JICA\u2019s practical experiences in development fields as well as Kyushu University\u2019s theoretical and practical knowledge accumulated as institutions of research and education.\r\n<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n
2. Technical Cooperation Projects<\/em><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nKyushu University participates in various technical cooperation projects under Japan\u2019s official development assistance (ODA) in developing countries.\r\n\r\nThere are several modalities of technical cooperation, such as (i) dispatching Japanese experts to developing countries to disseminate necessary technologies and knowledge to partner country government officials and engineers (\u201cDispatch of Experts\u201d), and (ii) inviting competent personnel responsible for development of respective fields and sectors in developing countries, to join training programs in Japan and to provide knowledge and technologies needed in their home countries (\u201cAcceptance of Training Participants\u201d). \u201cTechnical Cooperation Projects\u201d, which optimally combine the “Dispatch of Experts,” “Acceptance of Training Participants” and\/or provision of equipment are the core operations of technical cooperation under Japan\u2019s ODA.

\uff08\uff11\uff09 Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology\uff08E-JUST\uff09<\/em><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\nEgypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) is a governmental Egyptian university built in partnership with Japan in New Borg El-Arab City in Alexandria for postgraduate and undergraduate programs. It is a mutual cooperation between the Egyptian and Japanese governments for the purpose of having a long standing partnership between the two countries to promote human development in the region and worldwide. Collaborating in growing, and developing educational partnerships with Egyptian and Japanese universities, E-JUST is unique for its advanced academic specializations that enhance the exposure of its students to a spectrum of best academic and research experiences.
\r\n
\r\nKyushu University, as an Executive Steering Member of Japanese E-JUST Supporting University Committee (JSUC) comprised by 13 universities, has strongly supported to promote the E-JUST Project by assisting education and research activities of the Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE), Department of Electric Power Engineering (EPE) and Department of Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering (CPE), through dispatching Japanese professors, acceptance of Egyptian faculties, conducting joint research activities, introduction of double-degree program and so on. Furthermore, Kyusyu University established the Center for Japan-Egypt Cooperation in Science and Technology (E-JUST Center) on its campus in 2010 for supporting E-Just Project.

\uff08\uff12\uff09 Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology\uff08MJIIT\uff09<\/em><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\nMalaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT) is an academic institution established under Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) to introduce Japanese-style engineering education. Based on an agreement between Japan and Malaysia in April 2010, the Institute opened in September 2011. The objectives of the project were to provide the Institute with materials and create an educational curriculum for a Japanese-style engineering education, and to develop human resources with the practical, state-of-the-art technological research and development capacity that is needed in industry. Thereby, it aimed to contribute to economic and social development in Malaysia with strengthened international competitiveness.
\r\n
\r\nKyushu University supported MJIIT project to establish Department of Mechanical Precision Engineering and laboratory of electronic microscope. In particular, for the commencement of laboratory of electronic microscope, Kyushu University dispatched professors specialized in this field for assisting in selection of necessary equipment, guidance on operation and maintenance, and research methods using electronic microscope. As a result, the laboratory has been developed and is now utilized not only by researchers of MJIIT but also among private companies in Malaysia.
